Father's Message - Our Response To Covid-19

September 21, 2021

Dear Folks,

Fall is upon us! Leaves are changing color! Crops are being harvested! The pollen count is up! We can look forward to St. Rose’s Trunk or Treat and perhaps some Fall Festivals! This is a time to enjoy the fruitfulness of

life!
It is also a time to reflect upon both the challenges and blessings of life. All of us have been challenged by the Delta variant. Few, if any of us, are not tired of the disruption to our lives.

Our faith invites us to glean something of spiritual value from the challenges and sacrifices of the moment. Through a generous faith, we can transform the challenges into spiritual blessings. A period of sacrifice can remind us of what matters most in life. Take time this Fall to spend some time in prayerful reflection with God. Rediscover the depth of God’s love even in these moments of trial. A crucifix, (a cross with Jesus upon it) is a powerful symbol of God’s desire to be with us in our times of trial.

A Message from Pope Francis: Words of Challenge and Hope

In a brotherly spirit, I join in this message of hope for a brighter future. Thanks to God and to the work of many, we now have vaccines to protect us from COVID-19. They grant us the hope of ending the pandemic, but only if they are available to all and if we work together.

Being vaccinated with vaccines authorized by the competent authorities is an act of love. And contributing to ensure the majority of people are vaccinated is an act of love. Love for oneself, love for one’s family and friends, love for all people. Love is also social and political, there is social love and political love; it is universal, always overflowing with small gestures of personal charity capable of transforming and improving societies (cf. Laudato si’, no. 231, cf. Fratelli tutti, 184).

Vaccination is a simple but profound way of promoting the common good and caring for each other, especially the most vulnerable. I pray to God that everyone may contribute their own small grain of sand, their own small gesture of love; no matter how small, love is always great. Contribute with these small gestures for a better future.

God bless you, and thank you.
